It examines the veracity of the sovereignty clause in loan agreements. Using data generated from both primary and secondary sources and content analysis, it was realized that the hitherto poor infrastructural facilities in many African states have been given considerable facelifts due to the availability of loans from the Chinese government to fund their infrastructural developments. In the last decade, several countries across the continent including Nigeria, Zambia, and Angola have benefited from the infrastructure-related funds from the Chinese government. However, nuanced concerns have been raised by citizens across Africa following an allegation of certain clauses in the China loans that purportedly waive state’s sovereign immunity in case of default thereby granting Chinese companies or government legal rights to automatically take over the same infrastructural assets. The research findings reflect the fact that the narratives on the debt trap are just mere speculation without substantial evidence to prove the adverse effects arising therefrom to the sovereignty and economic stability of Nigerian state. The study conclude that the outright generalization on the debt trap in Nigeria-China relation cannot hold water because only time can substantiate one’s affirmative position or otherwise. The study finally recommends on the improve cooperation between the two countries on the bases of mutual and win-win cooperation on strategic areas of development that will enhance the aspirations of the two countries.","PeriodicalId":221919,"journal":{"name":"ERN: National","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128609720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Millennium Development Goals specific to education and health should also come under the prerogatives of local government based on their success indicators. But in Pakistan, MDG’s have not been treated by politically and administratively decentralized local governments. This qualitative research study investigates the possible role of local government as per perception of real actors, which could have been played in augmenting the scope of primary education and health. The cross-sectional data was collected through interviews from officials working in education, health, and local government departments. Purposive sampling technique helped to select participants who have witnessed the changes in governing system before and after promulgation of LGO, 2001. Semantic approach of thematic analysis was used to analyze the Qualitative data. Analysis discovered the overlooked merits of decentralized local governments in regards to indicators defined by MDG’s. Analysis also found the reasons that hindered the process of obtaining the MDG’s specific to education and health, and factors to improve service delivery in both of these sectors. More than 80% of respondents have validated the unconditional need of politically decentralized local governments to deliver basic needs of public.","PeriodicalId":221919,"journal":{"name":"ERN: National","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117138404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Wolf, the Acting Secretary for Homeland Security, issued a memorandum freezing new initial enrollments into DACA. This paper estimates the economic impacts of this enrollment freeze, on the educational attainment, earnings and federal tax payments of the affected DACA population – those who have turned or will turn 15 after Sept. 2017 – and on state and local tax revenues.<br><br>We construct two models of the affected population and its economic behaviors, the first assuming DACA enrollments are immediately reopened, and the second assuming new DACA enrollments remain frozen. We project that over the 2021-30 decade, the youngest members of the DACA population would lose about $6.4 billion in income and productivity, the federal government would lose roughly $2.8 billion in tax revenue, and state and local governments would lose about $705 million in tax revenue.<br><br>Since the primary impact of the DACA initial enrollment freeze will be to reduce investment in education, which will in turn sharply reduce these young people’s lifetime earnings profiles, those losses would expand dramatically over time, to about $19.7 billion in lost income and productivity, $7.4 billion in lost federal tax revenue, and $2.0 billion in lost state and local tax revenues in the 2031-40 decade.","PeriodicalId":221919,"journal":{"name":"ERN: National","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125164825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
